That was TANZtheater INTERNATIONAL 2021

In 2021, the 36th edition of the TANZtheater INTERNATIONAL festival defied the difficulties and took on the challenges posed by the pandemic: From 1st to 11th September, it showed a total of ten current works by international members of the contemporary dance scene – four of which were German premieres – live on stage at four venues in Hanover (Herrenhäuser Gärten, Orangerie Herrenhausen, Schauspielhaus and Ballhof Eins).
